BPC-157 (10mg)

What is BPC-157?

BPC-157, short for Body Protection Compound-157, is a derivative of a naturally occurring protein in the digestive tract that promotes healing, protects the GI lining, and stimulates blood vessel growth.

• Wound healing
• Blood vessel growth
• The coagulation cascade
• Nitric oxide generation
• Immune system function
• Gene expression
• Hormone regulation
